catena-Poly[[triphenyltin(IV)]-μ-phenylphosphinato-κ2O:O′]

Abstract

In the structure of the title coordination polymer, [Sn(C6H5)3(C6H6O2P)]n or [PhP(H)O2SnIV(Ph)3]n, the SnIV atom is five-coordinate, with the SnC3O2 framework in a trans trigonal–bipyramidal arrangement having the PhP(H)O2− anions in apical positions. In the crystal, neighbouring polymer chains are linked via C—H...π interactions, forming a two-dimensional network lying parallel to (001).
